Bio
...... Their name was inspired by the sound of Joe Cocker’s album, With A Little Help From My Friends. The White Gospel are an Essex based five-piece, fronted by singer/songwriter David Arscott. Of French and English blood, his writing seems to bare the emotional melancholy from the Parisian cobblestone alleys to the streets of London’s over-spill county, Essex. Consisting of an acrobatic voice, the shimmer and twang of guitars, bass, drums and fundamental elements, the organ and piano, TWG deliver an altogether more vintage sound with a heartfelt, well-studied approach to their special brand of music. Citing bands and artists as eclectic as Love, The Icicle Works, The Smiths, Rufus Wainwright, The Czars, Bill Withers, TalkTalk, Jeff Buckley, My Morning Jacket, Aretha Franklin, REM, Northern Soul/Motown, Grant Lee Buffalo and Richard Ashcroft as definite sources of inspiration for the writing; the band stitch together a tapestry of these colours and styles onto Arscott’s canvas of classic, hook laden, melodious songs. Not pre occupied by coolness and currentability, TWG appeal to a far wider more discerning audience in love with its music - lost and waiting to be found, or simply hoping to be lost in something special. With hints of the sixties, seventies and tasteful parts of the eighties, this band make a relevant noise with some unique, beautiful art. The band have been together now for over two years but have over thirty years of playing experience between them during which, their time was spent battling with different kinds of music in different kinds of bands on that all important journey searching for their calling, their vocation, the place they call home. . . the gospel... .. .. .. .. ..
